The substrate goes through a chemical reaction and changes into a new molecule called the product — sort of like when a key goes into a lock and the lock opens. Since most reactions in your body’s ...

Enzyme mechanisms are the chemical transformations, and the steps within them, generated by enzymatic action on substrates. The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in principle to other types ...

Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how certain pathogens defend themselves against the host's ...

The active site of an enzyme has a unique three-dimensional structure that allows it to bind to a specific substrate, much like a lock and key. This specificity ensures that enzymes catalyze only the ...

Parrots’ plumage dazzles with feathers in fiery reds, ostentatious oranges, luminous yellows, and verdant greens. Scientists ...

SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 — UTSA researchers have discovered how 3-hydroxyanthranilate-3,4-dioxygenase, an enzyme known as HAO that is involved ... “From a medical perspective, the HAO enzymatic mechanism is ...

Researchers at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy ...

In one of the studies, researcher Dr. Natalia Pardo Lorente focused on the metabolic enzyme MTHFD2. Traditionally, MTHFD2 is found in the mitochondria, where it plays a key role in synthesising ...

The researchers found that ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY), an enzyme involved in converting citrate to acetyl-CoA, plays a critical role in activating SASP. This discovery was made using advanced ...

Metabolic enzymes, typically associated with energy production, are now discovered to also play essential roles in the nucleus, such as orchestrating cell division and DNA repair. This breakthrough, ...

There are several different types of supplements for bloating and most contain digestive enzymes, herbs and probiotics to keep your gut functioning optimally. We tested the best to find out how ...

The study uncovered the evolutionary and molecular mechanisms by which zinc-dependent macrodomains reverse ADP-ribosylation, a key modification in cellular processes Structural analysis showed that ...
